So, the tyrannical sergeant major is called
to the Colonel's office: "Smith's mother has
just died can you tell him?"
So the sergeant calls his men to the parade ground....

"Squad attention!, Smith your mother's dead!",
squad dismissed'.

Smith walks away tears streaming down his face.
Later on the Colonel tells the sergeant that
Smith's father has also died and can he break
the news gently this time. So once again sergeant
calls his men to the parade ground...

"Squad attention! All those with fathers take one
step forward. Smith where the hell do you think
your going!"
